Chapter 94BRIANNA’S POV“For how long have you been in this castle?” “For a few months… I guess,”She lowered her head to write something down, then lifted it with an irritated exhale, like a teacher dealing with a challenging student.“I thought I made it very clear that your total compliance and honesty are needed in this interrogation. I don’t need guesses or half answers or word fillers. All I need from you right now is concise straightforward answers. Are you with me?” she looked at me like she was instructing a kid.If I wasn’t mistaken, she was being mean. Why was she making things so tough for me, as if I caused all her problems? It seemed like she just wanted me to confess to killing Catherine, so she could arrest me and move on.“Four months,” I said, hiding my annoyance. “I have been here for four months.”“Good,” she muttered and scribbled it down.“Can you tell me about Alpha Sebastian and Luna Catherine’s relationship over your time here? Were they happy or facing iss
Chapter 95BRIANNA’S POVI tried to say something to answer her question, but she interrupted me again.“…No offence, but let’s look at it this way: you’re a slave purchased at an auction, and she’s a Luna, a royalty. Why would she want to kill you? What will she gain? Logically, it should be the other way around,” she explained.“Excuse me?...” I stared at her, completely disbelieving, scoffing incredulously. Now I understood why Sebastian had that murderous look on his face when he looked at her. She was incredibly annoying, and one might consider knocking out her teeth to silence her forever. And the worst part of it all was that she didn’t know or she just didn’t care. Did she bring me here just to insult me, to compare me to a murderer?“I believe you heard me correctly, Miss Brianna?” She leaned forward a bit, acting like her words didn’t do any damage.“I would appreciate it if you don’t refer to me as a slave or compare me to a murderer because I can never be one.”“I understa
Chapter 96SEBASTIAN’S POVBrianna looked lost and a bit nervous as I talked to her. So I tapped her on the shoulder to draw her attention back to me. I had a feeling that the annoying parasitic detective said something hurtful to her after she sent me out of the room. It’s so silly of her to think I would threaten, pressure, or blackmail Brianna.“Yes,” she replied fast, like someone caught in a daze, flinching a bit.I studied her face closely, like a microscope examining an organism. Something was off, and I could sense it. That woman must have said something hurtful, even though she won’t admit it. The Brianna I knew preferred to keep her problems to herself, and I didn’t like that. I wished she’d share everything with me – her challenges, problems, worries, struggles, setbacks. I was eager to help erase them all with a single comforting touch.A strong wave of anger seeped into my skin and spread throughout my body. That’s just about it! It’s time for the detective and her sideki
Chapter 97 SEBASTIAN’S POV My face twisted out of shape and my eyes flew wide open in extreme shock. “Are you out of your mind?! What the fuck are you doing?!!” “Arresting you, of course,” she folded her arms, smirking as if she had just won the biggest trophy ever. “You might think being an Alpha King makes you untouchable, but you’re completely mistaken.” “You making the biggest mistake of your life,” I seethed, glaring as if I wanted to pounce on her, but her sidekicks held me in check. “Tell your minions to take their hands and this cuff off me right now!” The castle maids and my guards began to gather, their expressions as if they witnessed a fatal accident. My guards growled at the detectives and her colleagues, eager to intervene. But I instructed them to stand down. It wasn’t necessary. This woman thinks she’s a hero, but she and her sidekicks are making the worst mistake of her life. And I’ll make sure they pay dearly for it. “I’m afraid that won’t be possible,” she sai
Chapter 98SEBASTIAN’S POVIt’s been three days now. Three days of being locked up in this cold cell. Three days of being without food or water. Three fucking days of screaming my lungs out.The cell they kept me in was far from the main part of the station. Yelling wouldn’t help much since they wouldn’t hear me well. So I decided to stop screaming; otherwise, I might lose my voice.I hadn’t eaten or had anything to drink since they put me here. What’s weird is that I didn’t really feel it. I was too occupied with my fate in Catherine’s case and also wondering how Brianna was doing to even think about food and water.I slumped against the wall, feeling defeated and helpless. Maybe the Association of Alpha Kings could help me, but that could take a while. Plus, there’s a chance they might believe these idiots and accuse me wrongly. If that happens, getting out of here will be even tougher.Being stuck here was awful. It made me feel restless, lonely, and feel like I was losing my mind!
Chapter 99: SEBASTIAN’S POV“What the heck?” My face twisted in shock. Was that why she was here? To make them believe even more that I killed Catherine, making things worse for me? I just can’t believe it. Annoyance crept over my face, and I tried to speak, but the detective beat me to it.“You better seal that leaking hole before I do it for you,” she told Rose with an expression that could make an elephant cry. “You’re in no position to tell me how to do my job.”Rose let out an annoyed sigh and rolled her eyes, crossing her arms over her chest like a teenager who wasn’t allowed to do the cool stuff her friends were doing.I held back what I wanted to say since it seemed the detective had it under control. She turned to me.“Good morning, Alpha Sebastian,” she greeted, and I nodded, keeping a straight face. The morning could have been better with a cup of coffee, or even water and a snack. It looked like she forgot I hadn’t been fed since her minions tossed me into that cell. Qu
Chapter 100BRIANNA’S POVIt’s only been three days, but it feels like an eternity without him. The castle has turned colder and oddly quiet in his absence. Everyone has changed since they took him, fearing he might never return. The guards lied to me – they assured me he’d be back soon, but it feels like it’s taking forever.I don’t know how long I stood by the window, looking out as I wore a gloomy, dry smile on my face. I felt like the pregnant wife of a Viking warrior, waiting patiently for his return even though there was a high chance he wouldn’t. I kept waiting to hear a car honk, a police siren—anything signalling he had come back and an assurance that he wouldn’t be taken away again. But it didn’t seem like that would happen anytime soon.I couldn’t help but wonder what might be holding him back. Could they have started the trial and sent him to a high-security prison? Maybe they’ve hurt him, and he’s badly injured in the hospital?When I thought about the worst-case scenario
Chapter 101SEBASTIAN’S POVOnce the police vehicle dropped me off, everyone at the castle rushed towards me, hugging me like I’d been away for ages. They welcomed me warmly, overjoyed to have their king back.“I knew you’d come back,” one of my right-hand guards, Khan said, looking at me with proud eyes. “Even when others did, I never for once lost faith in you. I’m glad you’re back.”We greeted with handshakes and hearty manly hugs. I shared the same vibe with my guards and even gave some of the castle maids friendly hugs.The head maid couldn’t contain her joy when she saw me. Rushing over, despite her petite size, she hugged me so heavy it almost knocked me off balance.“I knew you’d return,” she said, her voice choked with emotion. A lump formed in her throat, and the next thing I felt was wetness on my shoulder. “You’re not a murderer. Those detectives should be fired for putting you through all that humiliation…”She pulled away, held my cheeks and turned my face side to side,
